Fugitive Nik Faisal was Najib's 'trusted lieutenant', SRC appeal hears


PUTRAJAYA: Fugitive CEO Nik Faisal Ariff Kamil was the "trusted lieutenant" of his former boss Datuk Seri Najib Razak in the misappropriation of RM42mil from SRC International Sdn Bhd funds, the Court of Appeal heard.

Ad hoc prosecutor Datuk V. Sithambaram told a three-man bench of the appellate court that Najib's attempt to disassociate himself from Nik Faisal's actions was not credible as his (Najib) directions were given to the SRC board of directors via Nik Faisal.
